IMAP doesn't work..as i followed the Perfect Setup for Fedora 4
 

Good day,

i'm currently setting up my own mail server. almost 80% of the instruction of the Perfect Setup for Fedora 4 works...but i got stuck on the apt-get install cyrus-sasl-gssapi and imap...where the update shows NO PACKAGE FOUND for these two item. And i also having problem starting up imap, pop3...where it shows no directory found. Kindly someone help me on this....plz...

I quote from the tutorial:

I guess your /etc/apt/sources.list is missing the last line. Put it in there, and run
afterwards. Then you can install imap:

Not There
 

I can't find it either. I searched through the listing of freshrpms on the Fedora Core 1 entry manually too and cannot find any package with the words IMAP in it. Was it removed from the server?

And you checked that this line is in your /etc/apt/sources.list:

rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/1/i386 core updates freshrpms

(Yes, its a fedora 1 not fedora 4 repository!) and run apt-get update before you tried to install the package?

I'm having trouble installing imap.

Yes i have the last line in sources.list and when i do a apt-get update i get some 404 file not found.

And if you look here http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/fedora/linux/extras/

there is no 1 folder!!!!!!

apt-get update worked for me and imap installed fine as well as the other packages I was missing initially :)

Trouble installing IMAP on FC4
 

I've been following the The The Perfect Setup - Fedora Core 4 - Page 4, but I'm having trouble with the imap package.

I've read the above comments and tried to install imap as you instructed. My sources.list file reads:
I ran:

After that I tried to install imap, and I get a 403 Forbidden Error as you can see:

Any thoughts on how I can get this work? Otherwise, I'll have to run the other package called dovecot like you mention here? How will this change the commands, which are shown in the tutorial, if I do use dovecot:

Thanks in advance for your help,
Craig

Take a look at chapter 9 on http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_se...dora_core_5_p5 . That should work for Fedora Core 4, too.

Got it working, but I have some questions
 

I've gotten it working now, but I'm going to try and configure the e-mail now. I'll start a new post if I run into trouble. However, I've got a things I want to clear up before I get too far along.

I really want to configure the server to be a IMAP Mail server so I'm working toward that goal. From what I could tell from the set-up I carried out here and here. The server is currently configured to do POP3 only. I did a "netstat -tap" with the following output:

I see a listing for IMAP so I take it I will be able to run the server as an IMAP; however, I think there will be more configuring to do regarding dovecot? Any idea of a good source of information for this? There is what looks like a nice wiki here however, it seems like I should be doing this through the ISPConfig interface and I haven't seen anything regarding how to do that?

Finally, I did a checked of the current levels for the list of processes I'm running, and I see that sendmail is running at level 4. Is this right? I thought sendmail was supposed to be off since postfix is the mail carrier? Here is the list of processes and the levels on which they run:

From what you can see, are the levels appropriate for what I'm trying to do?

Thanks for you help,

Craig.

No, it's currently doing POP3, POP3S, IMAP, and IMAPS.

If you want to use IMAP only, you must configure IMAP. I think the configuration file is /etc/dovecot.conf.
